The Prairie Fire.

Last Sunday IA little before Don a
prairie fire started ten or twelve miles
west OF here. AT the time a stiff
breeze was blowing, and with tall
grass to furnish abundant fuel for the
flames, the fire spread rapidly at the
rate of ten miles all hour. CARRYING
destruction in it's path. 1t came
sweeping down OH the town from all
sides, and for time the people
thought the town must burn and pre-.
pared for the fight with the fire tiend,
but Il change of wind saved it. The
whole town then turned out to assist
the farmers who were ut the mercy of
the flames. Ely evening miles of coun-
try had been burned over and so fierce
were the flames that all efforts to sub
due them were in vain. and buildings,
grain and hay stacks could be seen
burning in all directions, north, east
and west. y number of settlers lost
almost all they had. Ordinary fire
brakes were no hinderance to the
flames, and ON they swept. leaving
@hlackened deSul,tioM hel,ind. The
heaviest losses are these of Peter Il.
Stults. buildings, grain, hay. farm ma
chinery and several head of stock,
Yer $l,5uu: Edward Dod,i. barn, hay
vegetables and grain, $500. MI. Stults
worked hard to W. his property but
the flame soon drove him back and he
w;:s compelled to look on and see the
accumulation of the past three years
go Mp iii the flames, but he is Il man
ui pluck and will 90 right ahead to
regain what he lost. Other smaller
losses reported are us follows: &c. S.
Burke, barn worth $500; two buildings
formerly owned 10y Win. Fades: G. +.
Stamp and VIM. Whinn, several tons
of hay: A. c. McGiilivray, large stack
of oats: Cu>kelly Bros. several tons
of hay: W. III. Holman, small building,
shack on the late Henry Bowles claim;
Beckett & Foote, two large stacks of
straw: John Plank. twenty-five tons
of hay, grain and two stables; Henry
>imuns. several tons of hay. by mid.
night the flames had reached Green
river and Went out of their own ac.
cord. The fire was the most dcstruc.
that over visited this section and
many poor settlers are great sufferers.

4Washington's Table and Tailor.
In idealizing heroes the world degradcs
them into mere distractions by depriving
them of their humanity. Their contempo-
raries may have known them as flesh and
bood, but the following generation doubts if
they ever wore anything but flowing robes or
ate anything but ambrosia.
1t is therefore refreshing to discover that
one hero, George Washington, was so human
as to order his coats, waistcoats and breeches
from London tailor, and that he insisted
upon their being stylish and fitting.
Another fact which brings Washington
within the range of our sympathies is that he
was fond of tripe, and ordered it from Bris-
tol, England, because brand which he could
obtain there was superior to any made in New
York or Massachusetts.
Once upon time Cary e. Co.. of London,
the commission merchants who turned Wasl,-
ington's tobacco crops into hard cash, pre-
sented him with two jars of Bristol picked
tripe. Each jar held about two gallons.
There was special pottery at Bristol for the
manufacture of these jars, each of which had
burnt on its front surface the curer's name,
as guarantee Of the genuineness of its
contents.
@Dear Cary" he wrote to the senior men,
ber Of the firm, "Mrs. Washington joins me
in warm thanks to you for your considerate
present of two large stone jars of picked
tripe l must ask you to arrange for four
similar jars, in wicker basket casing, packed
in outer casks, to be shipped for my account
direct from the owners. Dental infirmity im.
